Recently a monochromatic multiple data taking mode has been demonstrated for diffraction experiments using a RITA type cold neutron spectrometer with a multi-bladed analyser and a position-sensitive detector. Here, we show how this mode can be used in comb ...
Lipid membranes were studied by infrared scanning near-field optical microscopy at several wavelengths and by x-ray reflectivity. Together with the x-ray data, the optical images indicate the formation of locally ordered multiple bilayers, and the topograp ...
Abstract: The connection of lipophilic gallic acid derivatives at the 5,5¢- or 6,6¢-positions of the rigid 2,6-bis(1-ethyl-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine core provides two pro-mesogenic tridentate ligands L10 and L12, whose molecular shapes, anisometries, and ...
Small angle neutron scattering experiments have been undertaken on the tempered martensitic steel EUROFER97 after proton irradiation at 250 and 350 degreesC and for doses of 0.3 and 1 dpa. It has been qualitatively shown that the scattering arises from dis ...
We will review recent results obtained by longitudinal polarization analysis and spherical neutron polarimetry (SNP) on typical low-dimensional strongly correlated electronic systems (spin-Peierls CuGeo(3), high-T-c La0.85Sr0.15CuO4 and YBa2CU3O6+x, or spi ...
We present a 5 m long spectrometer for soft x rays to be used at a synchrotron radiation beamline for resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy and resonant inelastic x-ray scattering in the 400-1600 eV energy range. It is based on a variable line spacing spher ...
Polarized fluorescence spectra were recorded in the vicinity of the Se and Br K edges on crystals of the selenated protein aldose reductase in complex with a brominated inhibitor molecule. The X-ray absorption, refraction and resonant scattering tensors as ...
The relaxor ferroelectric PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 (PMN) is investigated by means of dielectric and Fourier transform far infrared transmission spectroscopy in ,the frequency range from 10 kHz to 15 THz at temperatures between 20 and 900 K using mostly thin films on ...
We have discovered that a recently reported weak excitation branch in the spin-Peierls material CuGeO3 is in fact a ghost image of the primary magnetic excitation shifted in reciprocal space by a novel multiple scattering process. A model is developed that ...
We determine the fraction f of B atoms belonging to boroxol rings in vitreous boron oxide through a first-principles analysis. After generating a model structure of vitreous B2O3 by first-principles molecular dynamics, we address a large set of properties, ...
